1. Bringing laughter and joy is not the only purpose of a comedy. The true intention of comedy is when bringing up a political or a social controversy, and presents those with a little drop of humor to the audience. Believing that comedy is not just the advent of laugher, but also a truth to some degree. Steward claims his role as a comedian, because of his primary role of bringing satirical sense into his “report”. The Daily Show serves its purpose as mentioning the current issues around the globe; especially in America. Compared to other typical comedy programs, the Daily Show somewhat brings a true sense of reality and humility into America’s social and political system. Making the show the target wide range of audience, the Daily Show brings a little sense of humor to lessen the harsh criticism.
2. Tongue-In-Cheek:
Tongue-in-cheek refers to when a fictional work or a statement is not taken seriously. Tongue-in-cheek is also popular among gerneration-x’ers. For example Sean would refer himself as “S-man”, while this is not suppose to be taken seriously, it is delivered in a serious way.
